I have seen Helibar risers and also Helibar relocation adapter. What is the difference, if any?
GenMar risers are cheaper. Do they produce the same result, i.e. relieve pressure in your wrists and provide a more upright posture?
Anyone have the pros and cons of either. I would appreciate it.

Riser, puts the 1" up and 2" back. Relocation adaptor I believe just raises the bars 1".
The MCL and the Heli are almost identical. Slight differences but not in the rise and run, that is identical. The Heli model offers axis to the steeing stem nut without removing the riser I think. Not sure that matters much. The MCL offers a place to mount a ram mount ball. The Heli does also but you have to purchase the one with the optional center cover.
The heli has recently done a redesign that angles the bottom of the riser that allows a little more room for wires running down the bars. Again I have a LOT of wires running down the handlebars and I just route them to the outside on the MCL risers.
The heli risers look nicer but the MCL's are powder coated for a nice finish.
